Asylum Shave Works English Collection shaving creams are made in England by the same company that makes shaving cream for the big boys. It is soft and fluffy in texture and, it produces really slick and protective lather with great skin care qualities. Because it is private label, we are able to pass the savings onto you. Pick up a tub or two today; you will not be sorry.

The Asylum Bay Rum shaving cream is a modern and subtle interpretation of an old stand-by. Top notes of cinnamon and nutmeg intermingle with zesty citrus. White lily and basil leaves join rose petals and refreshing geranium to embrace the herbaceous accord. Patchouli and Bay rum mixed with hints of vanilla are perfect finishing accents to this masculine creation

Customer Reviews

I received a tube of this cream as a very kind gift from Phil after placing a large order.

Initially, I was skeptical about it. I shave exclusively with soaps, and I like loading them directly from the tube with my brush. Moreover, I have recently decided to narrow down my soap rotation to 5 trustworthy brands, so I was not sure whether to keep the Asylum cream or move it forward.

Well, after 10 straight shaves with it, I can say it grew on me. The scent is subtle, but present. It’s a very nice blend of spices, and I find it very good and masculine without being overpowering.
I load the cream like any other soap, for about 10 seconds, with a damp small brush (a Simpsons Berkeley to be precise).
It provides enough cream for my usual two pass shave.
The lather is slick, but not as dense as my average shaving soap (Cella, MdC, Valobra and MWF). Post shave is very good, as it seems to retain more of my face’s moisture.

I will continue to use the Asylum Bay Rum English cream in my rotation. Being a 6oz tube, I’m sure it will last a very long time

Great shaving cream

For a number of years I have been experimenting with a wide variety of shaving creams at a range of prices. The Asylum English Collection are as good or better than any of the others, regardless of price.They lather terrifically and shave smooth. They are priced reasonably. At this point, I have ended my trials and will use these exclusively for as long as they are available.

Different twist to bay rum scent

I've shaved several times now with the Asylum English Collection Bay Rum cream. The shaves were great and I found the scent to be very pleasant but light and non-obtrusive. It's a much more complex scent than the usual bay rum -- hard for me to describe, but I really like it. Bay rum can be a little heavy, but the Asylum version can happily coexist with almost any aftershave lotion or cologne that you could throw at it, bay rum or not. The face feel was great, too, so it's a winner for me!

Excellent Shaving Cream

I purchased and tried the European Barber scent of the English collection shaving cream. The scent is nice-fresh and clean not overpowering. I was able to whip up a good lather easily despite having somewhat hard water. The lather was slick with very good cushioning. All in all a fine shaving cream well worth the price in my opinion.

Wonderful shaving cream from Asylum

I have tried two of the new Asylum shaving creams, and both are superb: they provide a rich, creamy, lather, wonderful fragrance, reminds me of the great English shave creams I've enjoyed. A very, very reasonable price for these first-rate shave creams.
